A one-day training seminar designed to teach the basics of raising tilapia and aquaponic plants in a naturally balanced, integrated culture system (aquaponics).

All courses at MSF include lecture, small group discussion, and hands on experience with fish and aquaponic systems. Courses are fast paced, interactive and challenging. Course setting is informal, allowing plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion.
